Bávaro Beach (Playa Bávaro) is widely considered the crown jewel of Punta Cana and one of the most famous coastlines in the entire Caribbean. Located on the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic, it is the vibrant, bustling epicenter of the country’s tourism industry.
The beach is protected by a massive natural offshore coral reef. This reef acts as a barrier, breaking the rough Atlantic waves long before they hit the sand. As a result, the water at the shore is a brilliant, clear turquoise and stays incredibly calm, shallow, and safe for swimming.
